RE: [xsl] Troubles with libxslt in PHP again: CDATA in <script>

I seem to recall responding to your previous post pointing out that you were
writing a DOM as your output and that you were therefore not invoking the
XSLT serializer. That would seem to account for all your troubles.

Subject: [xsl] Troubles with libxslt in PHP again: CDATA in <script>

Hi xsl-list,

I'm working with PHP 5.2, and its XSL extension based on 
libxslt is giving me headache again. It used to add 
Content-Type <meta> in my XHTML output where it was not 
supposed to, and now in a similar manner it is implicitly 
adding CDATA sections inside my <script> elements.

Most of the browsers do not understand CDATA in <script>, so 
that gives JavaScript syntax error. Putting // comments to 
prevent that is also not possible, since libxslt always puts 
CDATA before them.
Putting //<xsl:comment> to wrap my own CDATA used to do the 
trick, but it does not work anymore with PHP 5.2.5 - libxslt 
wraps the leading // in CDATA as well.

I think it is the same issue as in "Preventing CDATA output in XHTML":
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200707/msg00060.html

I read that thread, but couldn't find any real solution that 
would fit me. Upgrading libxslt is not an option, since it is 
built-in into PHP.
Can you think of any solutions or workarounds?

I'm using "xml" output method and XHTML 1.0 Strict doctype. I 
also have to stick to "text/html" content type since Google 
Maps API (for which I'm producing JavaScript) does not work 
properly with "application/xhtml+xml".
